Billie Farnsworth

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Walden University, and my professional journey has been shaped by a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find healing.

My experience includes working in domestic violence services, crisis intervention, and DCFS, followed by roles in emergency room settings, substance use treatment, inpatient care, and private practice. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the many ways trauma and life experiences can impact our emotional well-being.

I work with adolescents through older adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, and other life challenges. I am trained in several evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), hypnotherapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Easy Ego States, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

My approach to therapy is compassionate, supportive, direct, and individualized. I believe everyone deserves a safe space where they feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you recognize your strengths, and support you in creating meaningful change at your own pace. Healing is not always easy, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward greater peace, growth, and healing.

I am a direct, compassionate therapist who believes meaningful change happens when we work together to understand your experiences and the meaning you make of them. I incorporate approaches such as ART, EMDR, and hypnotherapy to help facilitate healing, shift unhelpful patterns, and support lasting change. While I bring clinical knowledge and therapeutic tools to our work, I believe your experiences, insights, and personal goals are central to the healing process.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. Think of it as an interview where we are both deciding whether we are a good fit. I will share how I can support you, explore the approaches and options available for your healing journey, and help you understand what therapy with me might look like. You get to decide whether I am the right trail guide for you and which path you would like to explore first. This is your journey, and you deserve to feel comfortable, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
